1) It shouldn't matter: If your bulbs are 2.4GHz only, then they simply won't "see" anything 5GHz - perhaps you can expand a bit on what the symptoms of your problem are, something maybe getting lost in translation.
2) If your SSID names are all the same, then you have no control over which AP/router the client chooses to Associate with (Wi-Fi speak for "connect to.") If you want to choose which AP/Router and waveband they Associate with, you would need to give them all different SSID's. Though note, if your did so, clients would never automatically "roam" between AP's - that only happens if SSID's are the same. There's no real "right/wrong" way to do this, both approaches have merits and you'll have to decide which you find most convenient.
Incidentally, if you are interesting in optimum performance, you might need to pay attention to the radio channels your devices are tuned to. To use your own example, if your 200mbps router and your 60mbps disc are both using the same radio channel, they (and their associated clients) will all be competing for the same "air time" and you won't end up with 200 60mbps bandwidth - it will be less, especially if the throughput requirement is high.
There are "good neighbour" protocols built into the Wi-Fi standards which kick in whenever Wi-Fi devices detect near by devices (whether Associated with the same AP or not) and cause them to squabble a bit about whose "turn" it is to transmit which can hit the throughput. Ideally you would tune each of your Wi-Fi discs and router to different radio channel so the cells are not competing with each other and can transmit concurrently. We can get into the "rules" about radio channel tuning if you like. |
